Sony has officially introduced its latest WF-SP800N true wireless (TWS) active noise canceling (ANC) earbuds for sports athletes supporting long battery life and dust & water-resistant design. These earbuds come with a soft-cushioned arc supporter & 3D curved design to ensure a secure & comfortable fit. Along with active noise-canceling, the new Sony WF-SP800N earbuds also offer smart features like Ambient Sound Mode, Adaptive Sound Control, & 360 Reality Audio.

Sony WF-SP800N ANC Earbuds Features

Battery Life

Sony WF-SP800N earbuds offer a long battery life of 9 hours with active noise cancellation turned on. With the charging case, you get additional 9 hours of battery life. If you turn the noise cancellation off, the battery life of Sony WF-SP800N rises even further up to 26 hours (13 hours with earbuds + 13 hours with the charging case).

With just 10 minutes of quick charging, WF-SP800N offers up to 60 minutes of music playtime with active noise canceling.

Water and Dust Resistant

The new Sony WF-SP800N earbuds for sports athletes carry IP55 rating which makes them resistant to both dust and water. Sony says that you can even wash these earbuds. But remember, the IP55 rating just makes the WF-SP800N water repellant, not waterproof. So don’t submerge these earbuds underwater and expect them to work fine.

Ambient Sound Mode

Sometimes you don’t want the earbuds to cancel out the outside noise. In that case, you can engage the Ambient Sound Mode in the Sony WF-SP800N that will bypass the active noise cancellation so you can hear your environmental surroundings as well.

Without removing the headphones, you can instantly lower down the volume and enter in ambient mode just by placing your finger over the earbuds.

Adaptive Sound Control

One of the great features of the WF-SP800N is the Adaptive Sound Control that automatically adjusts the ambient sound settings according to your movement. For instance, walking, running, waiting, or traveling.

With the Sony Headphones Connect app, the new WF-SP800N earbuds can even learn your favorite locations and tweak the sound accordingly. The application allows you to customize almost every possible aspect of the earbuds.
